The results for the Media Assignment was announced to me on Monday afternoon.
I had more than butterflies... maybe cockroach, mosquito and many other insects
flying around in the stomach.
Dr Reinders was nice. He gave me constructive feedback about the assignment.
It was a very good session. I got to know the areas that I have to work on.
Anyway, I am sure you are all excited to know what I got. It was not marks but
grades. I was actually afraid to fail. Can you imagine? Me! at this age... afraid!
Yes. I was afraid... fear of not doing well. I wanted to do well so that people around me
like my son and students will be motivated to well to. My husband and I have a sort of an agreement to do well in what we have undertaken. He is currently doing his degree at Unisim.
He would share with me his grades for his assignment and exams. His motivation and drive spurred me to do well. I would not want to lose to him. Ha! Ha! So competitive. He got A for the last semester. I want to do equally well especially for my son. I want him to see that at this age, his parents are still studying and impress on him the importance of education. Any other way will not work... I get complacent quite easily.
There are times... when all the three of us will be with a book or papers either to read or complete. Just like last night, I had to read my book on motivation to do the assignment. Adam was reading his Jean Ayre book because he has to do his assignment and Shaheed was doing a practice paper. Everyone was so focussed in what they were doing.
Back to my grades for the Media Assignment... I've got B+. I know it is not an A but I guess... it
was good enough for the time being. I will strive for A in the next assignment. Since I am striving for an A... I have to go and do some research on the assignemtnt. Cheerios!!!

Today is the day I am receiving the results for the Use of English in Media. I am currently in the Media Room. I am number 5. All of us are jittery waiting for the results. Could not concentrate during the lesson. It is so distracting. Wonder what I will get. Wish me all the best!!! My turn is coming soon.

Hi all!!
Have not been writing... Not because of any illness or misfortune.
It is just that very busy with assignment.
I am finally done with the CALL assignment (part 1)that is due on Monday.
I will reward myself by going out today. I will start on Part 2 of the assignment
tonight. Anyway.. what took me so long to complete. It all boils down to my
personality of being a perfectionist. I started doing the assignment about one
and the half week ago. Looking for materials and reading them. The assignment
that I did went through at least 3 drafts. Everytime, I look at it, I felt that it is inadequate.
I revised the framework for evaluation of the software 3x. I am finally happy with what
I have. Will get Adam to read it to get his comments.
Life has not been all assignments...
Since Erna, Yuyu and Ha are not around... have been visiting Khai and Tili at RELC, just to make sure that they are fine. Also took them out for lunch. It was a good week. No complains.
Yesterday, I went to Geylang to get clothes for Hari Raya. After 2hours of walking finally Adam found the 'baju kurung' that he liked. I too got mine at the same boutique. It was the first time that the whole family managed to find clothes that catered to all our needs. The price is a non-issue.
Today is the 3rd day of the fasting month. In between finalizing my assignment, managed to clean the house. Once I am done with this assignment... will get started on Dr Cane's and Dr Lim's assignment. As usual before doing the assignment, I have to read a few books before starting to write. Now I understand what Ernie has been going through. Well... of I go...

The one week September holiday is here!! Finally after ten weeks of studying the September holidays is here. But not for me... I still have classes to attend. I will only have the holidays next week when the rest of Singapore are in school. Nevertheless, to those people having their break this week, Happy Holidays!! I have mine next week.
The next week of holidays will be used to do..... yes you are right! Assignments. Looking forward to do part of it. I have 6 modules thus there are about 6 assignments to complete. I am not fretting over it. I will try my very best to do it well. The grades is not my priority. I believe if you do something well... the results will come.
I will be meeting Christine this Wednesday, to discuss the assignment/s. As such, I will have to do my part to read up on certain books so that I will have a fruitful discussion with her. I will be going to the library later today to borrow books. Shaheed will be playing computer at Toa Payoh while Adam will be in school. Maybe in the afternoon, we will watch... Ratatouille. Shaheed has been pestering us to watch the movie. Adam will be away for the rest of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday... he will be in Malacca while Thursday and Friday... he has a camp to attend.
Since Adam will be away.... I hope to do more to finish up the assignment. Till next time.... Tata

Hi all!! It has been a week since I write.
Not that busy but.... trying to come to terms to complete
5 assignments. It is not a big issue. Just to get started on it.
This is the first year that I spend Teachers' Day out of school.
So as the rest of the teachers in the course do not feel the absence
of celebration too much. We have decided to organise a small get-together among
ourselves. It was not a ten course dinner but I guess sufficient for
the 25 of us. It was a small affair.
I wonder what the celebration was like in school.
Next week is the school holidays. I still have lessons next week.
I plan to meet up with Christine to discuss our assignment.
Will write again soon. Have a wonderful day and year ahead.
